Let's connect the dots between the Mexican pressing of SYNTHESIS and July 6, 1988.

At that exact same hour, the pirate FM broadcast relay in Coyoacán that had been re-transmitting Nova's songs went silent.
A well-known underground rockero who had recorded the uncredited guitar solos for the Mexican LP vanished that night.

What did the Mexican regional master contain that terrified the authorities?

I live in Mexico City. Everyone here remembers 'se cayó el sistema'. But nobody outside Mexico knows about the Coyoacán radio pirate.

The Mexican pressing of SYNTHESIS is the only one in the world with the unmuted guitar solos. They tried to confiscate all copies.

Marcus in Mexico was a rock musician. Marcus in Korea was an architect. Marcus in Japan was a poet. Who was Marcus in the US?
